"There was a very interesting talk about Tin ("the database so tiny they had to shorten its name"). This basically seemed to be a very clever approach for delivering stock data that leveraged a basic filesystem with range queries and rewriting rules via Sinatra. Turns out web servers serving static files goes pretty fast, if that's a suitable representation for your stuff (seems like his primary use case is for delivering read-only out to clients, where the data gets updated asynchronously in the background by the system). We actually have some datasets that are like that, so this is intriguing!" - Pradeep Gowda from Bookmarklet

"And if your English, like mine, is really just a first-order approximation rather than the real thing, it’s not your problem - you won’t notice. The native English speakers shouldn’t have had their ancestors conquer that much land; now, they’ll just have to put up with the consequences." - Pradeep Gowda from Bookmarklet

"Starting with the upcoming version 9.0, IntelliJ IDEA will be offered in two editions: Community Edition and Ultimate Edition.

"Repoze.bfg is characterized by some it's goals: 1. Everything is reusable/pluggable via WSGI (which is also the goal shared by the parent project - repoze) and play well with other frameworks. In short, create libraries, not another "framework" 2. Make the goodness of zope like component architecture, object traversal, ojbect database without the zope2 baggage. 3. Pay for what you eat. You don't have to use the whole framework, if you don't have to." - Pradeep Gowda

"One interesting approach taken by Repoze developers is: If the feature is not documented, then it is broken. So, you will find pretty good documentations for all the libraries that they have created so far." - Pradeep Gowda

When a C programmer needs an efficient data structure for a particular prob- lem, he or she can often simply look one up in any of a number of good text- books or handbooks. Unfortunately, programmers in functional languages such as Standard ML or Haskell do not have this luxury. Although some data struc- tures designed for imperative languages such as C can be quite easily adapted to a functional setting, most cannot, usually because they depend in crucial ways on as- signments, which are disallowed, or at least discouraged, in functional languages. To address this imbalance, we describe several techniques for designing functional data structures, and numerous original data structures based on these techniques, including multiple variations of lists, queues, double-ended queues, and heaps, many supporting more exotic features such as random access or efficient catena- tion. - Pradeep Gowda

What research hasn't yet shown is that digital technology is having a significant negative influence on our minds or brains. In some cases, it's showing the reverse. - Pradeep Gowda
